This is me, but last release when I thought the game was finished. It's silly, but the game means a lot to me. I'm attached to the characters, their story and their relationships. When I heard 1.0 ended pretty shit I just thought, "okay, I'll come back to this when I'm in a better frame of mind". Then when I thought to come back, it was to news that 1.0 wasn't the ending and there was in fact going to be an epilogue.
So I've waited (and waited) to start my last playthrough. Seeing the reviews leaves me feeling a little cold, but poor endings or not I feel like I need to finish the story.
Just to say, I feel you. I don't want it to end, and I don't want it to end in a disappointing manner, but you can't put the book on the shelf with the last chapter unread.
We'll always have Tonalu.
